Molecules of benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) dimerise in benzene. 'w' g of the acid dissolved in 30 g of benzene shows a depression in freezing point equal to 2K. If the percentage association of the acid to form dimmer in the solution is 80, then w is – (Its given that Kf = 5 K kg mol–1, Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122 g mol–1)

Question

Molecules of benzoic acid (C₆H₅COOH) dimerise in benzene. 'w' g of the acid dissolved in 30 g of benzene shows a depression in freezing point equal to 2K. If the percentage association of the acid to form dimmer in the solution is 80, then w is – (Its given that K_f = 5 K kg mol^–1, Molar mass of benzoic acid = 122 g mol^–1)
